“I’ve dealt with something that happened to me, and I saw how guns were used to save people’s lives, and it should’ve been able to be a part of the testimony,” Scalise said.

“They wanted to focus on taking away the rights of law-abiding citizens, which their bill ultimately does.”

Historically, Members of Congress—regardless of party—have been welcomed to testify before committees.
